"The report builder and dashboard builder are very, very good."

"The reporting features are also very valuable because, on top of 300+ reports available on the system, you can also customize quite a number of reports."
"The solution is beneficial overall."
"The most valuable features of Sage People are the reports that are useful for decision-making and the API that can be integrated well. Additionally, the solution can be accessed from mobile devices onto the cloud."
"Sage makes all the information accessible, like pulling a file because an employee needs something ASAP. It's all in the system. It's easy to find old reports if I need them for payroll purposes. It might take days to do some of this work by hand."
"What I appreciate most about SAP SuccessFactors is that it has all the modules in one platform. SAP SuccessFactors is the best option in the market for HR use cases. I also find the solution user-friendly."
"The best features that were working well for us was the Goal Management and Performance Management. They were the most valuable to our organization."
"SAP SuccessFactors is one of the most robust platforms in the world today. For a unique global company, they need a platform that is compliant, such as GDP compliant in Europe. The solution delivers high quality in their core HR IS system which is called Employee Central. The system is one of the strongest and sturdiest modules that are in existence in the world."
"Easy to use and user-friendly."
"Provides an open architecture and an open platform so it can coexist with other systems."
"The most valuable feature of SAP SuccessFactors is analytics."
"All of SuccessFactors' features are useful, but there are several modules within SuccessFactors that I find handy. You have Employee Central, which manages employee records within the system. It manages all the information about an employee, including names, addresses, account numbers, positions, org charts, etc. It also handles performance reviews and KPIs for employees within an organization. Then you have succession planning and development as well."
"The most valuable features of SAP SuccessFactors are onboarding, recruiting, marketing, and performance."
"Its technical support could have been better."
"The integration with our payroll system could improve. However, it is managed by another company."
"There were a couple of things that we wanted to customize, but we couldn’t do it ourselves."
"The budget module does not work. Sage People need to maybe make it more user-friendly."
"If Sage People were to become a fully cloud-based solution, it could lead to significant improvements. With the COVID pandemic highlighting the benefits of remote work, a complete shift to cloud-based functionality would be a welcome development for users."
"The automation in Sage People could improve. The solution is the best used for data storage but the automation could be better to have more functionality."
"In my opinion, the performance management module of this system could use improvement as it falls behind compared to other specialized performance management platforms."
"Its stability could be better."
"Some of the screens aren't that user-friendly, older employees especially have a hard time with it. They have some problems with it."
"It is not that user-friendly. It can be made more user-friendly."
"To explain one feature that I would like to see in SuccessFactors, I must describe a similar feature as seen in Oracle. In Oracle, there's a feature called Workforce Prediction, and with this feature, we can predict some of the behaviors of any employee. For example, the software can attempt to predict whether the employee might resign in future, or perhaps if they will start to perform better. This is something that is missing in SuccessFactors."
"SuccessFactors could be improved by making it usable on mobile and making its features less rigid."
"There are some limiting aspects to this product."
"They should work on a faster way of locating a proper documentation."
"It's a bit complicated to make a change in the tool... It is time-consuming."
"SuccessFactors should consider building their best practices around critical industries to help companies become more differentiated in the markets they operate in."
